They are all the same. Pro simply adds some business features that you would need in a mass office deployment.

You definitely need the 64-bit architecture. Go for the Pro edition, Home sucks.

Home is not 32 bit and Pro is not 64 bit. They are both the same, they both offer 32 bit or 64 bit (Default).

32bit or 64bit has nothing to do with Home vs Pro.
Either version is available in either bit level.

There is zero reason to go with Win 10 Pro, unless you actually need the corporate level features. Doubtful.

You might want to take a look at this comparison:

Personally I would not miss the remote-desktop and hyper-v features for example which are only available in the Pro version. As for the architecture I would definitely recommend 64-bit as well.

The vast majority of users will never need those features.
You might, and I know I do. But the majority do not.

Performance is exactly the same.

Thats why I wrote "personally" I think pointing him to the comparison graph is the easiest way for him to find the version that fits him best.

There is not even a big price difference between these versions, if you buy them on Amazon or some other reseller site.
